Considering The Guardian have discontinued their X account recently it's evident they've got a chip on their shoulder about Musk and the recent election. I'd expect anything to come out of them to be a hit piece.
Trying to avoid a controlling, manipulative human with a robust, documented history of lying and distorting the truth is having a chip on your shoulder?
Musk uses X to control the discussion and narrative, so you avoid X. It is very simple. It is the Grey Rock Method applied at scale.
